  B movie comes good. Gets under your skin....
  
  After a shaky start, I really warmed to this horror movie. Great B movie feel, characters were pretty good and freaky effects were quite innovative! I do like ... read more »

  Let down by bad camera work

  Suffer the begining, enjoy the rest.
  
  The beginning of Splinter is exactly what the title immediately suggests - an annoying thorn in the side, which, when removed, is almost immediately forgotten. ... read more »

  The first scene was a bit of a mistake, it could really put you off the rest of the movie; it was almost laughable. Don't turn off, though. The rest was ... read more »
